MeeMaw Katherine Graham’s favorite granddaughter Kate Weymouth is probably even now looking at replacing the reporter and the editor who let this story get out...

If this guy’s “survey” was done at Beck’s Washington Mall Sept. 28th event, they should Beck implored people to NOT bring signs.
And it it was the Beck event, 250 is hardly a valid sample of the 100’s of thousands there!

It only took them a month to figure that out.

The most controversial signs have been brought by Democrats pretending to be TEA partiers. As has been documented repeatedly...but how many people realize that. :-(

Adam Brandon, a spokesman for FreedomWorks, said his organization did not instruct protesters to limit their messages to fiscal slogans, but he did patrol the crowd and threw out a few protesters carrying signs depicting Obama as Adolf Hitler. I think its funny that, in the eyes of the state-run media, signs equating Obama to a white German are racist.

Once more: Anti-Obama themes are not about race. They are about Obama. Understand? Obama!

The photo gallery with the story didn’t show ANY racially-charged signs that I could see, with the possible exception of one that was apparently criticizing immigrants who don’t learn to speak English. If that was the worst they could come up with, I’d say it definitely refutes the Tea Party = racism smear. The one about the village idiot in Kenya was no worse - not even as bad - as a lot of the stuff that was directed at Bush and Palin. But the media never did an analysis of THOSE signs.

I know what you’re saying is true - the TP gatherings are not racist at all. The Left knows this, I think, but would like to make a lot of voters think we are racist.

I think it is probable that a sign with Hussein’s picture was racist simply because it portrayed him as black.........when we all know he is only 1/2 black.

Those are the standard poster for the LaRouche cultists.
I'd like to take a peek at the Compost turd's pictures of racist signs; I'd bet the farm that they represent the pitiful handful of infiltrators that were so easily outed.
To: lonevoice
Better be careful with that sign and that happy American flag waving. The leftists might try to arrest or possibly stab the baby...

Yeah, it may be funny, but the Hitler signs are put out by the La Rouche Democrats, who happen to be racists.

Of the 55% that supported Obama in 2008 about 35% remain.
The 20% percent, therefore, have become racist and joined the 45% original racists. What a country.
